[Unrelated/Interesting] Paranormal Website blaming "Iris"

http://www.theparanormalreport.com/Debunking-the-Drones.html

Totally unrelated, but curious.

Interesting that it links these drones to a Bill Gates foundation.

Does anyone else find this really strange? I don't see the connection.

edit: the connection between these drones and AR, that is. Admittedly, I only suffered a cursory view of the site, but nothing stood out as "THIS IS WHY IT MATTERS" or how the guy found out. Whois shows it registered to somebody non-microsoft.

http://www.whois.net/whois_new.cgi?d=theparanormalreport&tld=com

seems like a legit site but wtf

I'm not sure that this is totally unrelated.

just because there is a number in common doesn't mean it's related.

Ex: There are 100 friends on my Xbox Live Friends List....... conclusion: OMG I AM THE AR!

I gave them my e-mail anyways - that's what filters are for if they start spamming me.

You heard the man! Everyone, mob him before he escapes!

[/lolz.]

Now then... I honestly don't think it's in game. It refers directly to this ARG, so that would be complete and absolute breakage of the 4th wall, were this in-game.

But, I do have to admit. That is one of the most hilarious links I've seen all day.

Hey guys, I'm the admin over at The Paranormal Report. Just wanted to clarify a few things:

1. We're not linked to M$ at all, unless you count my business partner relationship via my consulting firm (which is listed on that whois).

2. The 100 free issues we're advertising is just a promotional. We're a paranormal publication that is just getting started, and we're looking to collect a list of people interested so that we can feel out the market before jumping in. We'll only be contacting them once the publication is available for their free issue. (We're not going to spam you, and now that you know it's going to be related to the ARG I'll remove your address from our list if you want...)

3. We weren't trying to be "hilarious" or "controversial" or anything, just trying to see what could be unearthed with a little bit of digging. We're not claiming we are right, or that you HAVE to believe every word. In fact, don't believe a single word. I don't think anyone has ANY idea whatsoever what the hell is going on with the drones, HALO 3 "iris" or any of this. If you do, please, let me know and I'll personally take down the article we posted and replace it with the TRUTH.

- Terry G.

If that's so then could you remove my e-mail? I'm sure you can figure out which is mine since it has Arkanor in it.
